Company Bio

Atari

Atari was a leading global publisher and developer of interactive entertainment for both gaming enthusiasts and the mass-market audience. Atari published and distributed games for all platforms. Its diverse portfolio of products extended over every major video game genre, including action, adventure, strategy, children, family, racing, and sports games.

The Atari name is, of course, recognized as iconic in the videogaming business. The former company (Atari Inc., and later Atari Games and Atari Corp.) that started the name existed in various forms and from the mid-1970s to the turn of the millennium. In 2002, French videogame publisher Infogrames Entertainment bought and revived the brand in 2002. In 2003, Infogrames officially moved the Atari brand into a more prominent role as it changed the name of its operations and became officially known as Atari. The company rose to prominence as a major publishing label for several years, but a downturn in its market presence and several failed key titles led the company to file bankruptcy in 2013. The company still publishes titles under the Atari label, although it focuses almost entirely on mobile gaming products at this time.
